Hi all,

 

I was able to sneak in the weekday brew yesterday. #blessed

 

As I was transferring to the fermenter, I noticed the wort was extremely cloudy.  Like nothing I've never seen before.  Used hops at 60, 15, and 1 minutes respectively.  Whirlfloc at 15 minutes.

 

Nothing out of the ordinary during my brewday process or recipe wise.  I brewed my house Session Rye IPA which I've brewed 5-6 times before and have never seen cloudy wort like that.  

 

I'm not worried as it's chugging away at 69° in the basement, just had never seen wort like that and wanted to see if the board had any thoughts?

 

Brew on!

my wort is usually cloudy but that's b/c I make no effort to filter much out other than the bulk of the hop material.

That might be it.  I whirlpool but don't make any additional effort to filter any hop/break material...never have.  I had five ounces of hops in 6 gallons of wort.

maybe normally you've let that stuff settle before transferring (not on purpose) and this time you didn't?
